And don’t forget to add a 5th Question on your own blog so we can answer as we hop around!

1. Are you good about going to the doctor?

Hmm…if I am sick, like really sick, then yes. Otherwise I tend to self medicate. Oh and of course the “annual icky” but that one is not as consistent as it should be. But I had a hysterectomy so I don’t really sweat that one.

2. What do you think about the practice of restaurants adding automatic tips for large groups or specific events?

I don’t mind it at all. I know so many people who wait tables, and honestly folks are crappy tippers. Especially in large groups. Sadly, the worst are women!!! These people generally make far below minimum wage and depend on tips. I also do not hold it against my waitress if the kitchen screws up.

3. When was the last time you went out for dinner?

Several times just last week! My boss and I have been burning the evening candles, so to speak, working through dinner at a few favorite places to munch.

4. What is your best budget saving tip for recovering from an unexpected expense or planning for one?

I weigh things out…are they needs or wants. Needs come first. Wants then get rated on a scale of 1-10. I have lots of things I want but I usually talk myself out of them. Oh and I always wait for a sale, never pay full price for anything!

BONUS QUESTION FOR COMMENTS SECTION FROM READERS:

5. In keeping with question 4, what one “I want it so bad” item do you keep talking yourself out of buying but really wish you had right now?

New bras? Seriously, they are close to a need now, but I’ve even ordered them and cancelled the order a few times in the past 2 years. They discontinued the ONE that fit and supported well and I just don’t look forward to getting a few that I can find in the right size, trying them, sending them back because they don’t fit and trying again.

At this time we are saving for our cruise so I have “NO MUST HAVE” on our list. I wouldn’t mind having my wedding dress re-made for our 40th anniversary however everyone else is trying to talk me out of it. They say it would be cheaper to buy a new dress.
